Financing Your Education

Narrator
At Walden University, we also understand the financial investment that you and your family are making in your education.

Joel Pleva(Ph.D. Psychology Student)
Obviously money is a factor. It’s a factor in a lot of things in my life and in most people’s lives. Really the only way I would be able to become a doctoral student is if I had some financial backing. And so my enrollment advisor also helped me get in touch with the financial aid department and get the money that I needed.

Narrator
Walden university financial aid counselors will assist you as you apply and once you are enrolled at Walden. They will help you locate and obtain financial resources and support. Several financial aid options are available to help fund your Walden education, including federal financial aid, scholarships, fellowships, payment plans, employer tuition reimbursement, and low-interest loans.

Ernestine Whiting(National Director, Financial Aid)
Money should never be an obstacle. We start at the very beginning, helping students fill out the free application for federal student financial aid called the FAFSA. We also try to help students find other sources of financial aid that are not offered by the university. We also have a list of scholarships that students can avail themselves of if they’re eligible.

Kimberly Franklin(Ph.D. Psychology Student)
Financial problems can affect your lifestyle. You have a home mortgage to pay; you have to buy food and clothing for your children. And just being able to know that I do have financial assistance available is very helpful.
